Good shine should get you hammered extremely quick but go down very smooth.... It shouldn't scar your throat going down.

RNation0001

Good shine should get you hammered extremely quick but go down very smooth.... It shouldn't scar your throat going down.
lol not entirely true, most moonshine has a pretty decent burn ( minus a fruit made brandy shine or a mixed up apple pie drink, however it doesnt burn like taking a shot of pure grain even tho its almost as strong, ive had shots of stuff that put hair on my chest and shots of things that could barely be called water, u can make moonshine not burn much but the proof is crap unless its brandy, u gotta think all moonshine is, is unaged whiskey for the most part, what gives whiskey that smooth taste is the charred or uncharred oak barrels that its stored in for years. also on the whole going blind thing and whatnot, its very hard to even attempt to make someone go blind with moonshine, although its possible, methanol is the culprit for these old scare tactics to try to get people to stop drinking moonshine however on a run of moonshine less than 1 percent of what comes out of the still is methanol and all of the methanol comes out at once around 155 degrees which is the boiling point of methanol. ethanol comes out around 175 so rule of thumb is to take about a shot glass of liquid after u hit 175 and toss it thus ensuring 0 methanol is in ur distillate.

07-10-2012, 02:54 PM
I think a 'shine tasting sounds like a great idea preferably later. Last time I had some someone had put a whole peach in it. I didn't realize how strong it was until an hour later when standing became a lot of work. :)
lemons12
07-10-2012, 03:27 PM
Guess I should rephrase... For how strong it is, it goes down pretty easily. LOL
I don't think many things over 100 proof go down like rum chata. LOL

I will be staying at the host hotel with the wife and daughter. If I had a decent size camper that was fully furnished we would be staying at the camp ground.
In 2010 my father was fallowing me down there and I blew two tires on the trailer and my father was pulling a 20' camper with an old 91 chevy 1500 and the motor blew up just shy of BG. It was a trip from hell. It took 7-8 hours and should of been 4-5 hours.
The indoor pool at the host hotel is the shit. A few video games and a hot tub. My daughter had a total blast in 2010.

Yea ima try to stay at the track. I mean hell its expensive enough just putting the car in the carshow if I cant camp at the track I may loose a little respect for Holley. I mean 75 bucks for a carshow is a little steep. If it didn't come with two weekend passes I wouldn't do it at all. And of course I forgot to preregister Lol but even 55 is high for a carshow.
